Greensville County, established in 1781 from neighboring Brunswick County, carries a name with a bit of mystery. Many historians believe it honors Sir Richard Grenville, the bold leader of the 1585 Roanoke Island settlement—one of the earliest English colonial ventures in America. Others suggest it was named for Nathanael Greene, a distinguished major general in the Continental Army and one of George Washington’s most trusted and capable officers during the Revolutionary War.
